Library ready to hit the road

Librarian Sandi Purcell is preparing for a journey. On her packing list: “The Lord of the Rings” series, “Nancy Drew” and “Captain Underpants.” Purcell and librarian Lucy Ford will drive North Central Regional Library system’s new bookmobile across the library district’s 15,000 square miles to North Central Washington’s smallest towns. Their mission is to hook kids on reading by bringing the library to them.
